We reach the stage where League One sides take interest with the Cup draw tomorrow (Sunday).
Looking at the fixtures there are a few games which stand out for me and there will be different ones for others. https://www.thefa.com/competitions/thefacup/fixtures" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I would personally like to be away at the winner of Marske vs Gateshead (preferably Marske) or the winners of York vs Morpeth (preferably Morpeth).
For the club in general home or away vs the winners of Banbury vs Bath or Yeovil vs Weymouth would be a good day for both sets of fans.
The toughest draws would be away at the likes of Halifax and Stockport who would fancy their chances.
Will fate dictate we have to face Towel?
As long we avoid something awful like Wigan or Sunderland or a L2 side away.

All three of the ties I mentioned go to a replay. Banbury beat Bath 1-0. Banbury would be a great tie!!RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:We reach the stage where League One sides take interest with the Cup draw tomorrow (Sunday).

Plus a good day out.Robin wrote:There is little glory in the first round of the cup, we just want a winnable fixture at home.

Awful draw. The only positive will be if we knock them out.

Could be worse…. Horsham away at Carlisle is a killer for the fans.

Probably given it will shave about 10 hours off their round trip.Artemis wrote:I'd take Carlisle away over Gillingham away. A far more winnable tie. Any chance Horsham will swap, do you think?
Is there that much to focus on in the league? We appear to be heading for a lower to mid table finish this season, I would hope we are safe several weeks before the end of the season at this rate.Shade wrote:At least if we lose we can focus on the league....? Every cloud.
long term injuries, selling or loss of players ie Boyle and Crowley. We're a small squad and will struggle if key layers are out.Robin wrote:Is there that much to focus on in the league?
